Rev. Bullard was the son of Daniel and Mary Bullard. He married Mary S. Duncan.
"Among the real pioneers of the Restoration Movement in America stand one, who, though he holds a minor place in historical writings, was one of the outstanding leaders in that movement. Spending about sixty years of his life in the ministry, he baptized between eight and ten thousand persons, and scores of churches in Southwest Virginia owe their origin directly to his labors... His great-grandfather, Seth Bullard, was a deply religious man... Bullard's grandfather, Ebenezer Bullard, and his father, Daniel were equally pious. All the Bullards were religious, and the ministry seemed to be the preferred family calling.
"During 1831, he began the study of medicine with Dr. D.J. Chapman of Giles Co., VA... He built his home, "Humility," on the opposite hill near the [Cypress Grove] church in Snowville, VA.
"Dr. Bullard had a very strong voice... On one occasion a minister stated that he stood on a bluff overlooking New River at Eggleston, VA, and preached to the congregation gathered on the far side of the river... and that he remembers Dr. Bullard as he called in his slaves for morning devotions... that 'His voice was the strongest I ever heard.'
"Dr. Bullard has this to say about his own labors in the Lord's vineyard, and the labors of the other preachers of early days. 'One prominent wrong was the failure to educate the brethren in the important duty of supplying the sinews of war. The churches in Southwest Virginia and West Virginia, and the border counties of North Carolina and Tennessee and of Southern Piedmont are largely the fruitage of unrequited toil. For twenty-five years I did not receive the equivalent of my horse's outfit and expenses.'"

Rev. and Mary Bullard had another son, John, born 1849, died August 1853 at the age of four. Recorded in Pulaski Co., VA Death Records (1853-1870, page 1 line 40, no cause of death or burial place listed. Mary S. Duncan Bullard died sometime between 1870-80, and by the 1880 census, he was married again to Elizabeth "Bettie" Craig, daughter of Dr. Robert McNealy Craig and Elizabeth Law. He was 23 years her senior. She apparently did not inherit his estate, as she lived in a boarding house from his death in 1893 until her death in 1905.
